International Student Support
International students are consistently left behind when we talk about making life easier for students. That is a why a priority of mine is finding ways to make the experience of international students at UBC far more manageable. Read below for more information.
ENSURE a review of UBC's Financial Aid Policy (LR10) is conducted to expand eligibility of needs-based aid to include international studentsÂ
In the REVIEW process of the Tuition Allocation Model (TAM), work to increase contributions towards international student financial aid by allocating 8% of international student tuition towards this rather than the current 7.5%Â
WORK to allocate the currently unspent annual $4 million-$5 million dollars in endowed awards in financial aid towards new needs-based awards for continuing international student
PROVIDE direction to the Vice President Development and Alumni Engagement to raise money in the FORWARD campaign and outside of it for specific international student awards
